answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2023 answer text <p>The World Bank does not have a policy in place that restricts farmers in choosing their seeds. The Bank advocates the use of quality seeds and has helped protect farmers, local production, and food security in developing countries. An efficient national agricultural innovation system and an effective seed certification system is essential to meet the challenges agriculture faces in developing countries. The UK is supporting this longer-term goal to do both, boost food security, incomes, and climate adaptation and resilience. World Bank operations, including also development policy loans, are designed at country level, in support of government priorities and plans and in consultation with other stakeholders. The World Bank has committed to full alignment of all its sovereign lending with the Paris Agreement by 1 July 2023. We are holding the Bank to account through the Board.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 08/09/2023 13:45:49 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2022 answer text <p>The financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has meant we have had to temporarily reduce the level of UK Official Development Assistance (ODA). We are committed to reviewing each year whether a return to 0.7% of gross national income is possible. We continue to be a leading donor to South Sudan and in FY 2021/22 provided an estimated 450,000 people with emergency food aid; daily water and sanitation provision for 86,000 of the most vulnerable displaced persons; nearly 900,000 girls to access education through targeted cash transfers; 797 health facilities to provide essential health and nutrition services; and support to a number of local peace agreements, including strengthening women's and youth participation in peacebuilding. Our aid budget is complemented by our diplomatic work, which presses for the implementation of the peace agreement, constitutional reforms, and good public financial management, which are essential for wider progress in South Sudan.</p> answering member constituency Chelmsford answering member printed Vicky Ford question first answered 08/07/2022 12:50:33 answering member 4674 label Biography information for Vicky Ford
